I’m starting to like dividend stocks more, because they pay a nice stream of income and their prices are more steady. This bad market makes me realize dividend-paying stocks are very important. I’m still holding PFE, and I enjoy receiving dividends from them when my portfolio was down. Other good dividend-paying stocks include Altria Group (MO), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), and U.S. Bancorp (USB).


You might also look at some Canadian Royalty trusts, like PGH, PVX, and others. They produce a nice divy with monthly payouts. They are also oil and gas producers, which may be a good hedge against retailers and other sectors weighted heavily towards the economy.
